Mr. Bryan bore himself modestly. Hailed by Mayor Tom b. Johnson, of Cleveland, as “the first citizen, if not the first official of the land," he smiled and bowed his acknowledgments; and when later he was presented as "an other Jefferson and a Democratic Lin coln,” Mr. Bryan waited for the ap plause to cease. During his sj*eech, when Mr. Bryan declared for government ownership of railroads, there were loud cheers and cries of* “Hearst, Heurst,” all over the hall. Mr. Bryan paused and smiled in recognition of the tribute to the New York congressman. W. R. Hearst arrived while Chair man Johnson was addressing the meet ing.

The meeting ended with Mr. Bryan’s spec* li. With the disappearance of Mr. Bryan a rush was made for the Hearst »box, and from n thousand throats came demands for a speech. Mr. Heorst smiled and shook his head. Mfifiy of those present Insisted on shak ing! hands. Mr. Hearst finally escaped amid cheers, and tho big demonstration t carle to an end. 8tss Newspaper Folk. I* spite of his late retirement after laatT night's strenuous reception and his long speech In Madison Square Garden, Mr. Bryan arose before 7 o'clock this morning and at 8 o'clock was joined at breakfast In his rooms' by Mrs. and Miss Bryan. H fore sitting down to eat Mr. Bryan ■aid farewell to a little group of news- pop r men, who called early to see him. He was still In his shirt sleeves w hen he came to the door of his suite, No. 128, on the second floor of the Ho- t- ei victoria. "I can not speak of last nights oc- yt jn emes," said the Nbbraskan. "I was n- well-nigh overcome by the reception Accorded*me. The event and the scene wli: remain In my memory as long as I may live. Surely I was wrong when I once referred to New York as ’tjie enemy’s country.' It Is a friendly coun try to me now, and always shall be." Mf. Bryan then excused himself to Join Mrs. Bryan and his daughter. The party left the Victoria a little before 9 t o’clock for the Grand Central station. where they took the 9:30 train for ®*New Haven, where another welcome If awaited him.

BRYAN’S SPEECH The paramount Issue In the next presidential campaign will concern trust* and their control. Democrats’ motto must be, “A private monopoly is indefensible and Intolerable." Provisions must be made to Imprison, not merely fine, law-breaking capitalists. Protective tariff has been fruitful source of political corruption. Free trade, optional in Its details with the president, could be made the most effective weapon with which to fight tne trusts. Mr. Bryan declares that the unlooked-for and unprecedented increase In the production of gold has enabled the Democratic party to present a united front on the money question. Congress should meet immediately after elections—not thirteen months later, as at present. United States senators should be chosen by popular vote. * The United States must sooner or later adopt income tax. burdens of government should be divided proportionately among the country’s peo ple. Railroads should be made the property of the government. The Fed eral government should control the trunk lines «nd the various states the local lines. Securing immediate uniformity of rates is favored as tem porary remedy. Merciless war on trusts is recommended to the Democrats. Corrup tion In Insurance companies and other corporations Is dwelt upon. The Democrats should refuse campaign contributions from corporations. The workingman's life, liberty and pursuit of happiness should be preserved. It is unjust to give employers absolute control over em ployees. Differences should be settled by arbitration. In the Interest of humanity, the development of the home life and love of family and the progress of the human race, the eight-hour working day should be universally adopted.. * The United States. In common with all other nations, should, before declaring war, submit all international differences to impartial arbitra tion. Government by injunction is an attack upon the Jury system and should be opposed. The injunction should be supplanted by arbitration. The United States experiment In colonialism has exposed to ridicule the Declaration of Independence. He urges home rule for the Filipinos. That plank In the Democratic platform of 1900 requiring corpow- tlons engaging in interstate commerce to secure Federal license, should become part of nation’s laws. Socialism presents a consistent theory, but does not take human nature Into account. 4 would substitute a new disease for the disease from which we suffer. Socialism must be answered with argument, not abuse. J NEW INSTRUCTORS SECURED FOR GEORGIA TECH FACULTY BRYAN MAY YET ACCEPT INVIIAI ION FROM GEORGIA By Private Leased Wire.

Now Percy works on The Georgian, you know, he is Sporting Editor—thinks a lot of his paper, doesn’t he? SHREVEPORT, LA., August 28. Dear Mr. Seclv: I’m so tickled with what I hear about The Georgian on this trip that I can’t wait ’till I get back home to tell you about it. In Memphis, Little Rock and Shreveport the opinion seems to be unanimous that it’s the best paper in the South. Tli is opinion comes from the newspaper makers and the public, too. I was surprised to find how well known the paper was atnpug the people of Shreveport—a town so far away from At lanta that only a remarkable paper published there would have any chance to make a hit here. Memphis people were especially warm in their praise of The Geoorgian. Mr. Ruine, owner of the News-Scimitar; Mr. Soincrandyek, its general manager, and Mr. Clemmons, the manag ing editor, and Mr. McCormick and Mr. Bell, managing editor and city editor, respectively, of tiie Commercial Appeal, were warm in their praise. And if they did not mean what they said, appearances were deceiving. Judged by the impression that The Georgian is making in the towns I have visited, the pa per is taking the place in the Southern newspaper world which you intended, and I am sure that congratulations are due you nnd all of the Georgian’s staff. I really had to get away from At lanta to come to a full realization of how good a paper I am working for. With good luck I will be back some time Monday morning—and mighty glad to be there, I can assure you. This barnstorming is just about what it is “cracked down” to be. Regards to all at the office. Sincerely yours; PERCY H. WHITING. He’s off with the Atlanta ball team—Billy Smith said they needed him. SECT RIOT IS 1ISSII WITH SHIP Cruiser Charleston Overdue Since Wednesday.
